If you are tired of waiting for the next season of Tanjiro's adventures, then this title will help to brighten your wait.
The spring anime season has just begun, but there is already something to talk about. The new action series Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho will tell viewers about the confrontation of family ties, betrayal and tragic love.
Let's find out what is so remarkable about this anime.
What Is Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho About?
The first episode of the anime lasts about an hour – this is an introductory episode that immerses the viewer into the childhood of the main characters and the main conflict of the story. Brother and sister Jinta and Suzune leave their home because of their cruel father.
The reason for the disagreement is that one of the children belongs to the demon race. The girl hides her bright red eye behind a cloth bandage on her head. Jinta is not afraid of his sister's true nature, and she in turn is willing to follow her brother anywhere.
The children who ran away from home would have died of the cold had they not been found by a caring man. He brought them to the village and welcomed them into his family.
Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho Is Like Demon Slayer But Darker
The images of a caring brother and a sweet demon sister at the beginning of the first episode are reminiscent of Demon Slayer, but only at the beginning. The further development of the characters' relationships, the narrative of the series and the turning point at the end of the episode follow a completely different scenario.
The general concept of the new anime is still similar to Demon Slayer. The main character, having acquired an ancient katana, embarks on the path of a demon hunter, carrying out orders to eliminate demons.
However, unlike the shonen anime with its cheerful trio of Tanjiro, Inosuke and Zenitsu, the new anime is much darker. In Sword of the Demon Hunter, the main character appears as a serious, reasonable and reserved person who has to go through a difficult path alone.
The First Episode May Seem Slow, but the Pace Picks up in the Second Episode
Despite the emotional diversity of the first episode, the second episode is much more gripping and interesting. The main character responds to a call for help, meets people who claim to have seen a demon, encounters the enemy and kills it.
Although it sounds quite simple, the series itself is captivating because of hidden hints about the main character's past and his connection with the people he saved.
